• buildings are developed. Mr. Dale described the buffer area's pro- posed development with an estimated 20 foot section between the com- mercial and residential containing a chain link fence and a configura- tion of wood fences and tree and shrub plantings designed to guard the residential area from all noises and lighting emanating from the commercial development or Silver Lake Road. All landscaping which is required will be subject to City controls regarding maintenance. Sidewalks or walkways will be installed as the City may request. Separate documents will be provided to give the City very stringent controls over the traffic patterns , lighting and pollution as well as signage designed for individual business identification, all of which must be approved by the City Council. Focused lighting of the parking lots will be only 0 .2 candle power at the lot line. Mr. Dale continued by saying 4 of the residential dwellings should be under construction before any of the commercial building is started and no new business will be allowed to start before the landscaping is completed. The existing house on the Silver Lake Road will be re- modeled and an occupancy permit granted after two of the other homes are under construction. Mr. Dale told Mr. Bowerman they wanted the options left open regarding the disposal of the residential lots and didn't want to agree to have all the residential dwellings erected prior to the construction of the commercial buildings for fear an undeveloped lot might hold up the commercial buildings construction. Mr. Bowerman then questioned • whether the percentage requirements might then not be met and the planner said there was little probability of that happening with 4 homes under construction. Mr. Cowan and Mr. Letourneau were concerned with the architectural similarity of the new residences fearing they might be "tract houses" . Mr. Dale said the City may rule on the architectural styling and Mr. Daubney said the price of the lots which Mr. Hedlund estimates will be $10,000.00 , will govern the type of home which will be built. The attorney said he would anticipate the homes would be within the $45,000 to $50,000 price range. The City Attorney said the City would be able to see the plans for the houses before they are built. Mr. Marks said he did not feel it would be in the interest of the City to shorten the depth of the southernmost residential lot to accomodate the commercial on the western portion. He pointed out that, though there will be two entry ways for fire trucks to reach the first two buildings along Silver Lake Road, there will be only one access to the northernmost building and there is 50 feet distance between the front of that building and the curb of Silver Lake Road. Mr. Rymarchick suggested a different scheduling for the construction of the commercial buildings with the residential, Mr. Daubney said he would agree to 8 houses being built prior to the two commercial build- ings, but feared the third structure might be held up. • (4)
